Popis: | Plasma-exfoliated multilayer graphitic material (MLG) consists of orderly aligned stacks which contain many partially oxidised graphitic layers. Slit pores are present between successive stacks and their presence allows for improved friability, facile dispersion and accessibility for the intercalation of compounds. Whilst much research exists into the synthesis and application of MLG, there is a lack of quantitative data regarding their porous structures. This report outlines the structure of MLG as well as the application of Barrett–Joyner–Halenda (BJH) analysis to estimate the distance between adjacent stacks of orderly aligned graphitic layers within MLG. It was found that the distance between stacks can vary quite substantially between 2–131 nm within these plasma-derived materials, correlating with the width of meso- and macro-slit pores. Furthermore, t-plot data also suggests that micropores, likely to exist in the form of both slit pores and in-plane pores, are present within the material, hence stack separations may also exhibit distances of |
